Abstract

A wearable pacemaker (402 of Figure 11) includes a main enclosure (404 of Figure 11) that is connected to a proximal end (406 of Figure 11) of a photonic catheter (408 of Figure 11). A distal end (410 of Figure 11) of the photonic catheter (408 of Figure 11) mounts a hermetic housing (412 of Figure 11). The hermetic housing (412 of Figure 11) can form all or part of a tip/ring electrode termination pair (414 of Figure 11), and will house a component array (28 of Figure 11) containing suitable electrical and optical components to perform whatever pacing and/or sensing functions are required.
